Washtenaw County Real Estate Values Steady
Real Estate values for Washtenaw County school districts have leveled out, in general, as the 2012 market begins. All areas saw a sharp decline in the average price per square foot beginning in 2005, and most saw the bottom in 2009. Since the lows of ’09, the price per square foot has started to slightly rise in some areas and slightly fall in others.
The Saline real estate, Dexter real estate, Chelsea real estate, and Milan real estate markets all saw an increase in the average price per square foot for homes sold from 2010-2011.

These markets, including Milan, had a much larger decrease in the A$/SF beginning in 2005 and have farther to go to recover to the higher prices of the early 2000’s.
